FRITZ SCHAUDINN.

supernatural scientific flair, Schaudinn won for himself, in the short space of his life, a reputation that, in his own branch of science, is altogether without parallel.

In the preparation of these notes I beg to acknowledge the assistance which I have received from publications by various writers since Schaudinn's death, from the monographs of Professors Minchin and Calkins and Strong, in the later text-books, and more especially from a recent article by Dr. Langeron in Blanchard's Archives de Parasitologie.


The President said the subject of Dr. Carnegie Brown's communication hardly admitted of discussion, but he was sure the Society was exceedingly indebted to him for the resume he had given of the life of Schaudinn, and the account of the work that he had done. "Lives of great men all remind us"—they knew the rest. He wished that in this country some Schaudinn would arise in order that the corresponding Tropical Society in Germany could pronounce so eloquent an eulogium on him as Dr. Carnegie Brown had done upon Fritz Schaudinn.

The President having announced that the next meeting would be held on February 21, the proceedings terminated.
